Re: [Planetlab-support] Re: [Planetlab-users] less, man, gzip, and rpmbuild

[Aaron K. <al...@CS...>]

Try this once logged in to your vserver, as root (use su):

------------------
mkdir yum-rpms
cd yum-rpms
for i in stock-rh9/python-2.2.2-26.i386.rpm \
          stock-rh9/libxml2-python-2.5.4-1.i386.rpm \
          stock-rh9/libxml2-2.5.4-1.i386.rpm \
          stock-rh9/expat-1.95.5-2.i386.rpm \
          stock-rh9/rpm-python-4.2-0.69.i386.rpm \
          stock-rh9/elfutils-0.76-3.i386.rpm \
          stock-rh9/gmp-4.1.2-2.i386.rpm \
          planetlab/yum-2.0.3-1_planetlab.noarch.rpm \
; do
     curl -O http://boot.planet-lab.org/install-rpms/$i;
done
rpm -ivh *.rpm
----------------------------

Now, as root, to install gzip for example, type:

# yum install gzip
or
# yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

Yum will handle the dependencies, and ask you if its ok before actually 
installing anything.
